Hi Harald, Ralf, so i created an egg with a function that tries to undo the path changes done with 0.9.1. I checked that the code works but i think that setuptools does not execute my code at runtime, only at bdist_egg time. I guess i need to investigate how i can have some code executed at install time. Anybody has hints?
